Strands of dissent

In: General

6 Mar 2010

I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m no longer being brainwashed in the system that is the public education of our country, but once I’ve climbed up further on the rungs of the ladder of life (ie: entered college), it feels like a whole new torrent of broken glasses and veiled lies has [...]

CNY Week of 2010

In: General

21 Feb 2010

Chinese New Year has always been a point of contention for me, not because of the occasional dull booms that linger in the atmosphere from the blasting of illegal fireworks from potentially rich persons, but because I dread having to visit the relatives. But this year’s CNY strikes me with mixed feelings, mostly because my [...]

Out of a pure stroke of chance, I’m currently writing game reviews for a small sum of money. It isn’t much, sure, but people have always said that if you’re working with something that you have an absolute passion for, then the money is quite secondary, even though it is what that motivates me to [...]

The show, it must.

I honestly believe now, with every ounce of my being, that the essence of good writing is being able to detach yourself briefly from the realities of the world, and bathe the world in a dimly lit beauty of iridescence. I used to be able to sever myself and let my entire existence immerse itself [...]

In unchronological point forms, this is what I’ve done this month ever since I returned from Melbourne and Brunei:

– met up with the u8 gang at two Friday night mamak sessions at Tanjung. The first on the 15th was a small group with Jon, Ding, and Wai Hong (where we eventually returned to Jon’s [...]

I used to be able to write so freely—a word will leap from my head, and with utter conviction, I’d think to myself, I have to put this word down, and let the rest of these mini-bunnies spill forth and multiply—but it seems a permanent writer’s block has been festering inside my head. This pus [...]

It was when I was walking with Ethan somewhere in the city of Melbourne months ago that I first chanced upon the free newspaper, mX, and it was occasionally when I passed by an mX “stand” (for the lack of a better word) that I’d pick one up and read it at home, or when [...]

Shawn and Yen found their cocker spaniel, Rex, missing last night. Here’s the info from Yen:

Name: Rex
Age: almost 4 yrs old
Size: Medium size
Colour: Mix of lite and dark brown
Feature: he is wearing a yellow dog collar without any tags. However, he is easy to identify because he has a tail unlike other cocker [...]

It’s been a week since I’ve blogged, and I’ve so many things I want to pen down (some mini trips I manage to squeeze in between my busy schedule) but so little time to work with. For the past nearly 3 months I’ve been working on so many academic writings and read so many textbook/journal [...]

In Aisle 7 of Woolworths QV, I found my solace for the day. I went through today with a sleep-inducing International Trade lecture and a revision for my Investment test tomorrow with perfunctory enthusiasm. Conversations were nearly non-existent for me, and despite the fact that I chose to be on my own—I sat at the [...]
